Assistor, a provider of complete logistics for vehicles and spare parts in Finland, wanted increased accuracy and efficiency in their operations.

Assistor’s operations were based on a legacy barcode and paper tracking-based system that was manually handled by the staff causing time-wasting and errors. The tough winter conditions in Finland – snow and ice covering the cars on the lot, added problems and prolonged the scanning and identification

processes. Additionally the process was made more difficult by some manufacturers that did not provide barcodes at all.

Assistor recognized RFID reading as a possible competitive advantage and implemented a solution that includes ERP, forwarding, vehicle taxation, web portal for car resellers, 170 Nordic ID mobile computers and integration between all systems and networks.

Upgrading to RFID technology has resulted in accurate identification and tracking, and reduced processing time. It has made all information available in real-time at the hands of workers and errors have been virtually eliminated. Assistor is now able to handle more cars with the same amount of personnel.

A construction company, specialised in innovative technical installations and service for the energy supply sector, decided to tag about 92.000 different kinds of tools and assets to increase real-time visibility and efficiency as well as to provide better service to their customers.

The project was conducted by PHI DATA, an AUTO-ID integrator that successfully installed a system that enables reading and keeping track of all incoming and

outgoing tools at 10 different depots. Because of the usage of different AUTO-ID methods in different processes, this required a mobile solution that enables reading of both RFID tags and barcodes.

The Nordic ID mobile computers are robust and well performing even in harsh and demanding environments. They are used for association wedge reading when loading all tagged assets to SAP, and as a mobile interface

in a variety of processes to collect data to be fed into SAP.

The mobile computers communicate over the Wi-Fi network deployed in all the different sites. A future goal is to also use the wireless network for locating asset containers that are transported in and out of the warehouses.

A laundry facility, run by Colomiers YMCA in France that cleans work clothes for aircraft manufacturer Airbus, faced challenges with garment tracking and a constantly growing volume.

The barcode-based system they used before was sufficient for small volumes, but not for the 2,000 pieces of clothing per day that Airbus would be sending through the facility.

Nordic ID HF RFID mobile computer, that comes with simple, intuitive controls and a highly usable interface, was chosen for mobile RFID and barcode reading. It is used for identifying or changing the destination (locker room) the clothing is in or headed for, as well as for matching each worker’s clothing with the right locker. If an Airbus worker is assigned a new location on the Airbus campus, the information is transmitted to the

laundry control system, the tag is rewritten, and the garment in question is delivered to the new location.

The entire RFID implementation cost the YMCA only 200,000 euros and allowed the laundry to reduce the number of steps in processing garments, such as searching for and then scanning garment barcodes, as well as reducing human error.

easy to use and cost-effective, while it is able to provide the needed data to all parts. Nordic ID Sampo can be mounted effortlessly on any surface (on/under the counter, on the wall, on shelves or in the ceiling) to serve the in-store data collection needs through its simple LED, trigger and buzzer user interface.

Whether the need is to perform automated work; such as registering “walk-by-products” at entrances and fitting rooms, registering shelf content or to charge the customer’s purchases

at the checkout counter, the Nordic ID Sampo S1 offers an easy RFID solution.

By combining Nordic ID Sampo fixed readers with mobile computers such as the Nordic ID Morphic and/or the Nordic ID Merlin, a system that enables a steady information flow with faster and more accurate inventory levels can be achieved.

AUTOMATIC REGISTERING OF RFID TAGGED GOODS

RFID gates are an excellent way for checking goods automatically. Where RFID gates are used, RFID tagged goods are registered automatically with fixed readers - fast and with high accuracy.

In warehouse operations the sheer volume of individual items is immense. Shifting items - into, out of and within - a warehouse environment can be immensely sped up with the help of RFID technology. RFID tagged items can be read without a line-of-sight, and where

RFID gates are in use, good are automatically registered by RFID fixed readers. In such environments, extremely powerful readers are the key. Adjustable, long reading distances and extraordinary reading power enable fast and accurate data collection. The Nordic ID Sampo S1 One-series fits ideally into these application areas. The easily mountable fixed reader is the ideal device in RFID gates. The Nordic ID Sampo S1 One-series is powerful and thus enables accurate, automated

information flow in challenging environments.The Nordic ID Sampo S1 One-series is seamlessly compatible with other Nordic ID mobile computers and fixed readers for a powerful, fast and accurate data collection solution.

Nordic ID Stix is especially suitable for:

• Point-of-sales • Information kiosks• Smart displays• Document tracking• Smart shopping• EAS at POS

The operations in retail stores are multifaceted and often require different technical solutions for different applications. For some applications hard-core RFID readers with as much as 8m read range are needed, but for every-day operations such as customer service, point-of-sale tasks and quick cycle counts, a simple and small, but flexible reader might be the best option. This is where Nordic ID Stix comes in handy.

Applications such as scanning of customer loyalty cards, as well as scanning of products at check-out and information kiosks, require a reading pattern that is easy to aim and control. The reading range should still be suitable for reading through items, desks and, in some cases, walls. Nordic ID Stix is easy to adjust so that it suits the specific need it is being used for.

Besides from being mounted and integrated into furniture, Nordic ID Stix can be connected

to tablets and smartphones in order to work as a cost-effective mobile RFID reader. Hence it can also be used for performing quick cycle counts and for locating lost items.

Nordic ID Stix is a welcome addition to the already existing range of hard-core readers performing advanced reading challenges on the shop floor.

WHOLESALE

Each year around 70% of the UK’s population visit a WHSmith store, with just over 1.2 million people visiting a store each day of the year. WHSmith aimed to making their daily store operations more efficient and the stock replenishments more accurate.

WHSmith selected Nordic ID RF651 handheld devices due to their many benefits such as a long battery life, ease-of-use and an

affordable price. Nordic ID RF651 is the world’s first roaming Bluetooth solution with extended coverage over Wi-Fi and it is very easy to install and implement.

With software or firmware updates so easy and low-cost to do, WHSmith’s Systems Integration Company BTe did not need to write expensive code for the handheld devices, as the thin-client nature of the RF-Series allows development on

the host system. From goods-in to stock look-up to shelf-edge ordering to greetings card returns, WHSmith have it covered.

The new system has worked perfectly and WHSmith has been pleased with the after-sales-support offered. The only problem with the system… they would like more handhelds!
